11 Best Hairsprays

The competition for best hairspray is stiff, but these products hold up, say our readers

No. 1: Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray, $27 TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 9.5* Why it's great: Reviewers rave that this spray holds hair in place, gives major volume and doesn't leave hair sticky or crunchy. It gives your hair an "amazing, airy hold" without the "typical hairspray feeling." One reviewer says, "If I could give more than 10 stars, I would." Another comments that it never gets "gunky" and it "washes out easily."

Sebastian Shaper is a good hairspray but I cannot stand the smell. I've never understood the following for Elnet either. I don't get the best results and it too smells bad. My favorite is Sexy Hair Soy Touchable hair spray.

Helpful article; there are so many hairsprays on the market making the same claims that is it nearly impossible to decide which to choose. I swear by Phyto haircare products, though - the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so clean and fresh, and the styling products hold beautifully without weighing my hair down. It is liberating to feel your hair flow freely without worrying that movement will cause frizziness and dullness or simply mess your hair up.
